送昆布：英文大學：keeper
2004/6/26 讀昆布《布魯姆日百年─談一位被遺忘的守護者》後，決定參考些資料作’keeper’的詞目。我雖然主要參考辭典和網頁

Towards the end of his life (he died last year), Walker invited Stephen Koppel, an assistant keeper at the British Museum, to look at his collection. Koppel was impressed.

「這本書的書名《My Brother’s Keeper─James Joyce’s Early Years》，直接源於聖經，但故事卻是反面的例證。那是聖經中頭一對兄弟：該隱和亞伯的悲劇故事，該隱因為敬拜神的事遷怒他的兄弟，把亞伯殺了，神來找該隱談話，問他弟弟哪去了，但當時該隱不但沒有悔意，還相當傲慢，他頂了一句話：「Am I my brother’s keeper?」〈我豈是看守我兄弟的？〉」（昆布：布魯姆日百年─談一位被遺忘的守護者 時間：2004-06-26

查The Bible
創 世 紀 Genesis4:8
[hb5] 該隱與他兄弟亞伯說話、二人正在田間、該隱起來打他兄弟亞伯、把他殺了。
[kjv] And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
[bbe] And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.
4:9 [hb5] 耶和華對該隱說、你兄弟亞伯在哪裏．他說、我不知道、我豈是看守我兄弟的嗎。
[kjv] And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
[bbe] And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?
4:10 [hb5] 耶和華說、你作了甚麼事呢、你兄弟的血、有聲音從地裏向我哀告。
